"Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is a paradox: What is flexible is strong." - Lao Tzo

Dr. Mick Wilson champions simplicity in his approach to good health. His philosophy? In a word: Motion. For the body to perform at the highest level, in all lifestyles, responsible living and a regimen of motion are integral. A simple answer to many of our health problems is the prescription of movement.

A Modern Approach: Motion - Flexibility - Strength

A moving joint is a healthy joint. A flexible muscle is a healthy muscle. A strong body is a healthy body. As the joints begin to move and the muscles surrounding the joints begin to relax strengthening can occur. Once joints and muscles are moving, Dr. Mick Wilson enacts a strengthening routine using functional movement to improve the condition of muscles and assist the body in self-correcting posture. A regimen of motion therefore allows for improved health, flexibility, and overall wellness.
